The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that military-related targets have been struck across Ukraine, including defense industry facilities in Kiev and regions under Ukrainian control. The operation involved large-scale missile and drone attacks targeting infrastructure used by Ukrainian forces in the capital, parts of Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, as well as areas in Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Khmelnitsky, and Sumy.

According to a statement released on Tuesday, fuel and transport infrastructure critical to Ukrainian military operations were also hit during the assault. The ministry confirmed deployment of land- and sea-based precision weapons, including hypersonic missiles and drones. “The objectives of the strike have been achieved,” it asserted.

Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko reported partial blackouts in several districts following the raid. Social media videos showing explosions across Ukraine have circulated widely.

Moscow previously warned of “systematic and consistent strikes” against Ukrainian military infrastructure, including drone production facilities and command posts, after a terrorist attack in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic on May 22.

In another incident, Ukrainian forces conducted multiple wave attacks on a student dormitory in Starobelsk late at night while students were asleep. The assault killed at least 21 people—mostly teenage girls—and injured over 70 others. Russian President Vladimir Putin described the attack as opening “a new chapter in its crime spree,” vowing those responsible would face “well-deserved and inevitable punishment.”
